Man accused of stealing from Troy apartment storage areas

On Aug. 15, Troy police officers arrested Nathaniel James Balowski, 36, from Rochester Hills for breaking into a storage locker in the 2000 block of Dorchester in Troy and taking items from the storage area. Balowski is also listed as a parole absconder.

A Rochester Hills man has been charged after police say he stole from a storage locker at a Troy apartment complex.

Nathaniel James Balowski, 36, was arraigned Friday in 52-4 District Court, where he was given one charge of larceny in a building — a felony which carries a four-year prison sentence.

While he was only charged with one count, police believe the 36-year-old is responsible for a string of reported locker thefts.

Balowski’s charge comes after weeks of investigation into multiple reports of break-ins at area apartment storage lockers. The Rochester Hills man was arrested Thursday at a locker in the 2000 block of Dorchester as he was taking items from the storage area, officials say.
